Weird Outlook Express/Microsoft association?

[Kevin M.]

This is kinda strange but I didn't know where else to ask it,
so thanks for your what-are-sure-to-be-interesting responses.

So, I play a collectible card game and the name of one of the cards
is "Suhailah". I am still using the Office97 spell-checker, and it
suggested that I change 'Suhailah' to 'Shuueisha'. Googling the word
'Shuueisha' bring sup either some kind of Japanese corporation or
a Manga comic. Googling 'Shuueisha Microsoft' or 'Shuueisha Office97'
brings up some other results which I can't really interpret.

Why do you think this odd word was in the Office97 dictionary?

Gee. I have no idea. What do you think the word is?

Open your own custom dictionary; perhaps you've added this yourself before?

I've added the word SHUUEISHA into my custom dictionary?

Ummmm. No.

You'd be surprised which words people put into their custom dictionary ;-)
